more pictures of baby karina

ok, ok, i know i said i'd post more pictures of this sweet baby girl... sorry it took me a few days! i took donuts to the new little family in the hospital on friday, and i was able to snap some cute shots of karina. when ethan was 5 days old, kristie brought cupcakes over, and we put a candle in one for ethan's "birthday" (and took a ton of pictures of it, of course)... so i put a candle in a donut for karina's bday... kristie got a big kick out it. :) carrie brought baby brian down to their room to visit-- how fun that they were in the hospital together! they got to go home just 24 hrs. after karina was born, and they are all settled at home. karina even found her thumb her first day at home! (see picture below.) we brought them dinner & ate with them last night... and baby girl slept through our whole visit with the exception of about 5 minutes! ethan finally showed some interest in karina, though i think he's a bit confused. we kept saying, "ethan! look! the baby- look at the baby!" and when he FINALLY would give her some attention (pulling her leg, etc.-haha), we'd say, "no ethan! no!" poor kid!! we'll all get the hang of this sooner or later. :) we are so thankful for this beautiful baby girl. i just think of all the prayers that were lifted up for her, especially in the early weeks of kristie's pregnancy... praise God for a healthy baby and a cute one at that! :) i can't wait to watch her and her cousins grow up together. what a blessing to have family. thank you, God!

here's some sweet pictures of karina in her daddy's lap...
